Influence Of Salinity On Growth And Yield Attributes In Chickpea Cultivars, Ranju Singla, Neera Garg
Influence Of Salinity On Growth And Yield Attributes In Chickpea Cultivars, Ranju Singla, Neera Garg
Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry
Seeds of 4 cultivars of chickpea (2 desi, CSG 8962 and DCP 92-3, and 2 kabuli, CSG 9651 and BG 267) were grown under 0, 4, 6 and 8 dS m^{-1} levels of salinity until maturity. Shoot and root dry weights, root shoot ratio and various yield parameters were evaluated under salinity at 40, 70 and 100 days after sowing. Salinity significantly reduced dry matter accumulation in both roots and shoots in all cultivars, though declension was more pronounced in BG 267 (kabuli) and DCP 92-3 (desi). Root growth was more adversely affected than shoot growth, which also had an …

Effects Of Different Water And Nitrogen Levels On The Yield And Periodicity Of Pistachio (Pistacia Vera L.), Mustafa Ünlü, Riza Kanber, Pasquale Steduto, Yusuf Aydin, Kenan Di̇ker
Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry
The effects of 2 irrigation intervals (I_{f1}: 7 days and I_{f2}: 14 days), 4 nitrogen doses (N_g, N_0, N_1, N_2 and N_3) and 2 crop coefficients (K_{pc1}: 0.60 and K_{pc2}: 0.90) on pistachio nut fertigation were studied to establish suitable irrigation and fertigation scheduling. The nitrogen levels were 0, 10, 15 and 20 mg L^{-1}. In the traditional treatment, N_g, each tree received 500/600/400 g of NPK fertilizer at the beginning of February. Other fertilizer doses were applied in the irrigation water through a drip system. Irrigation water amount was calculated based on Class A-Pan evaporation. Wetted percentage in each …
Interactive Effect Of Nitrogen And Boron On Cotton Yield And Fiber Quality, Özgül Görmüş
Interactive Effect Of Nitrogen And Boron On Cotton Yield And Fiber Quality, Özgül Görmüş
Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry
This study aimed to determine the effect of application rates of N and B on cotton yield and fiber quality. Suregrow 125 (Gossypium hirsutum L.) was grown on a clay soil having an average 0.38 mg kg^{-1} B concentration. Analysis of leaf tissue taken at early bloom and before the nutrient application indicated that N and B concentrations were sufficient. Nitrogen was applied to the soil at rates of 0, 80 and 160 kg ha^{-1}, and B was applied to the foliage 3 times for totals of 0, 0.56 and 1.12 kg B ha^{-1}. Foliar-applied B significantly increased leaf blade …

Mutation breeding is one of the breeding methods used successfully in durum wheat for selecting lines with increased agronomic values. The aim of this study was to select mutant lines having a better agronomic potential than the mother variety Gediz-75 in the M_6 and M_7 generations. The mutants were derived from the variety Gediz-75 of durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.). The seeds were either irradiated with gamma rays at Cobalt 60 (^{60}Co) or treated with ethyl-methane-sulfonate (EMS). Eighteen selected mutants and the mother variety Gediz-75 were examined in the M_6 and M_7 generations for yield and quality characteristics. The experiments …
